Running out . . .

We're down to the last few guidebooks. Climb Max and the Portland Rock Gym are both sold out (thanks for helping us sell them!), and at this point there are no plans to print another edition.

If you'd still like to purchase one, contact us while they're still some left to purchase. And thanks in advance!

Restocked!

Ozone guidebooks are again on the shelves at the Portland Rock Gym and Climb Max!

Both of these fantastic local institutions have been selling the books for us over the past few months, and we really appreciate it. The guides are $20 (cash or check only, checks made out to Jeanean Rauch), and all the proceeds still go to benefit the family of Kevin Rauch.

If you're not able to make it to PRG or Climb Max but still want a book, just contact us.

Lastly, our supplies of Ozone books are dwindling. (I myself only have seven books left!) So, if you've been putting it off, now's the time.

Thanks as always to everyone for your support. Enjoy the return of spring . . .

Farewell to a Friend

On Saturday, March 1, our friend Kevin Rauch passed away peacefully at his home with his family by his side. Thanks to everyone for their care and support over the past few years. Kevin was a great friend and a great climber, and he will be missed deeply. 

Proceeds from the sale of Ozone will continue to benefit Kevin's family.

There will also be a memorial to celebrate Kevin's life during the first weekend of spring. Please join us from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 21, at Lakeside Gardens, 16211 SE Foster Road, Portland, OR, 97236. The ceremony will begin at 12 p.m., and there will be food and also a play area for children.

Ozone Books are Still Available

Our friends at Portland Rock Gym have graciously sold through all their copies of Ozone, but we do still have a limited number of books left. If you're interested, drop by Climb Max or contact us.

OZONE Books

We still have Ozone guidebooks for sale! They are now available not only by contacting us, but also at the Portland Rock Gym and Climb Max Mountaineering. 

There are only a limited number left though, so don't wait too long . . .

OZONE at The Hollywood Theatre! (Corrected 10/15)

For anyone still looking to get your hands on a copy of OZONE, we're not only selling them through this web site, but we'll also be setting up shop at the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy Blvd. in Portland) this Thursday, Oct. 16, at about 6:30 during the  2008 Reel Rock Tour. The theater will be showing "The Sharp End," a film by Peter Mortimer, Nick Rosen, and Sender Films. Look for us there!

(Questions? Contact Bryan Smith.)

Early — and impressive — results . . .

Ok, are you ready for this?

Our early results are in and we're excited to share them with everyone who's helped us out throughout this entire effort. 

• For starters, we sold close to 325 books the night of the event.

• The iPod raffle brought in nearly $800.

• And all together, with the raffle, the book sales, and the silent auction, we've so far raised . . . nearly $17,000! 

That's absolutely an incredible number and we extend our sincerest thanks to everyone who's contributed in one way or another. And we're still selling books and collecting money from the silent auction, so we're not done yet.
